"that is not the response i was looking for but it does tell me something" he writes something down on the pad "now tell me the first image you see" he holds up another one

".............thats an image?"

"an image of what"

" i dont know, its a blob."

"well seems you're not very creative" he wrote some things down on his pad "now i don't know if this is just you or your species, i'd need more subjects to test that, well, lets test you intelligence" he handed Ki a large packet "this is a 200 question IQ test, take your time"

ki sat there answering questions.

Angeal started studying the various things he had observed

ki had now finished within 5 minutes. "done."

he looked up from the microscope and said "impressive, just give it to Kisho over there, he'll score it for you"

okay

Kisho walked over to Ki and took the packet "finally i have something to do besides sit and watch" he sat down and began scoring the test

ki was fiddling with a pen.

a few minutes went by and Kisho finally said "164, logically minded, failing creative thinking skills" he handed the results to his dad "pretty good, i only got 142, but i was more well rounded" he walked back to his seat and began reading his book, Angeal looked of the results and said "well this proves what i was thinking, that you, while extremely intelligent, seem to be mentally impossible of being creative"

"i noticed. since us willows can see everything 4 dimentionally and can look at your genetic components within half a second i guess we forgot about free expression."

"without any creativity life can be very boring, you might want to look into that" he walked over to ki and said "well, that's all of the tests i can preform without you being dead, but i would like you to come by before the next lunar eclipse, i would like to see the difference between you before and after, so when is the next eclipse going to be"

" in six months."

"well before it happens please come visit me, the closer the better" he showed Ki and Kisho to the door "i'll see you around, and Kisho, please try to stop by more often" Kisho walked out into the street and stretched a little than said "well, what d you want to do now"

"hm, i can teach you a few moves."

"is that all you think about" he sighed as he began walking "don't you want to see a play, take a look at my clan's culture, meet some new people"

ki thought for a moment. " after a hindred years, ive seen plenty of plays and im hardwired to not like humans. and especally crowds." ki smiled. "but since you asked, sure. what the hell."

"well after that it seems like i'm torturing you, i'm just trying to get you to relax" he sat down on a bench in the park

was closing his eyes. but his face was taught in concentration.

"did you forget something"

"no, im just watching the components of the trees. its interesting."

"do you ever turn off and just relax"
